1t Was Nothing Serious.

In one of the city's most select and quiet
localities, the other evening, cries of alarm
and repeated calls for the police were heard
issuing from house occupied by most re-
spectacle family, and the neighborhood be-
came greatly alarmed. All sorts of conjec-
lures were indulged in, some fearing that
murder was in progress, while others believed
that burglar had been encountered. Just
as the police reached the house the noise SUBJ
sided, the door was quietly opened, and the
gentleman at the head of that particular
household came out and remarked to the
officers that he was sorry for the disturbance
occasioned; but there was no serious trouble.
A gentleman lodger was exploring the kitchen,
in the dark, for some refreshment, and had
put his foot into trap which the cook had
set to catch a particularly thievish rodent.
The war dance indulged in by the hapless
lodger, apd the yells he emitted, as he hoped
about on one foot, while the trip maintained
its grip on the other, was the secret Of the
disturbance. Boston Budget "Saunterer."

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.- The condition of
Hon. E. B. Washburne, ex-nlinister to

awoke and recognized those about HIM.
Yesterday morning he was found lying on
the couch in his room unconscious. Ply

The habit of campers seeking
shelter close up to buildings in the
business parts of town has been per-
mitted by property owners from a
desire not to appear mean, yet al
ways feeling the danger of having
camp fire, WHICH from little care
lessness, might destroy one-half the
houses in town besides burning up
an immense amount of property in
the sliape of stocks of goods. Dur
ing rain or in windy weather
campers get as close to building
as possible and are not always as
careful as they should be to put ont
the FIRE after cooking meal or re
tiring at night. The time has come
when such practice endangers too
much property and the only way TO.
stop it is for the council to prohibit
camp fires within dangerous dis
.,ance of any house within the city

them and have one day of rest in a

an hour or two Sunday morning to
let f:eighters get the supplies pur
chased the day or evening before,
they could do so with the general
understanding that all stores would
be closed at, say 8 O'Clock, with the
result that the business Of a whole
day now would be completed by 8
O'Clock on Sundays. The merchants
say they do not like to keep open on
Sunday but that their neighbors do
and they have to. A united effort
on their part to agree on an hour to
close would result satisfactory to
them withonra doubt.
